obfervations made in treating of that falt, cubic nitre and fale 
of fylvius, we fhall find that 
100 parts vitriolic ftandard contain -- - 10,71 of water, 
100 parts nitrous ftandard contain - - 26,46 of water, 
100 parts marine ftandard contain - - 48,5 of water. 
THE portions of water here mentioned are fuperfluous to 
the conftitution of thefe different acids, which as we have 
feen may exift without them; hence we may find the quantity 
of real acid included in any quantity of ftandard; in vitriolic 
acid by multiplying the quantity of ftandard into 0,1071, in 
nitrous acid by multiplying into 0,2646, &c. and fubftracting 
the product from the given quantity of ftandard.
